It is important to me to always be learning and building on my skills.

From Dan Siegel’s website (www.drdansiegel.com), “Mindsight is a term coined by Dr. Dan Siegel to describe our human capacity to perceive the mind of the self and others. It is a powerful lens through which we can understand our inner lives with more clarity, integrate the brain, and enhance our relationships with others.”
